RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The Brazilian Olympic team has struggled mightily on its home turf during the Rio Games. Maybe Neymar and the crew can salvage something for the hosts.
Brazil's celebrated men's soccer team rolled to a 6-0 win over Honduras in the semifinals on Wednesday to earn a spot in the gold medal match.
Rio's Day 12 of competition also has action in men's basketball and medals up for grabs in track and field, beach volleyball and wrestling.
Brazil started the day 16th in the medal standings, with only three gold medals in the first 11 days of the games.
